Wondering what came next after solving the mystery of who killed Ella Cobb? Well, I was, at least.
I'm also a huge fan of TTRPGs and I may even have created each of the playable characters from A Breach at Stronghold off of everyone's favourite dungeon-crawling TTRPG classes.*
Since the world of Stronghold was first lodged firmly in my head, I had a clear idea of the larger story swirling around the characters, and, while my first instinct had been to just write it out (as I may or may not do soon with the prequel stories), creating a TTRPG module that others could enjoy and co-create seemed a much better option.
While there are so many different existing TTRPG formats that could be used for this (*cough* Monster of the Week *cough*), I've loved the ease and openness of Vincent Baker's Powered by the Apocalypse game engine since my experience playing a version of it with W.M. Aker's Comrades. Before long, well... this existed!
I hope you enjoy!

* As such: Bobbie Dean = Barbarian/Fighter, Bowden Ross = Artificer, Connor Gilliam = Ranger, Dylan Tate = Wizard, Grace Boyer = Cleric, Javen Monroe = Rogue, Kelly Mullen = Sorcerer, Ray Daniels = Paladin. Ella Cobb, should she have a class, is probably the Bard.
